    Anchored in History - Stories of America's Navy: Ep. 13 - Navy Library, 225 Years Strong
    Apr 9 2025
    Recognizing the importance of a professional Navy, President John Adams sent a letter on March 31, 1800, to the first Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin Stoddart, directing the establishment of a library containing "It ought to consist of all the best writings...upon the theory and practice of naval architecture, navigation, gunnery, hydraulics, hydrostatics, and all branches of mathematics subservient to the profession of the sea." Two Hundred and Twenty-Five years later, having moved from Philadelphia to New Jersey and then later Washington, D.C., surviving the British attack on Washington, D.C. in the War of 1812, and multiple moves around the greater Washington DC area while falling under various commands of the U.S. Navy, today's Navy Department Library, a part of Naval History and Heritage Command, is one of only a few military historic libraries open to the public. Its vast holdings of over 114,000 book titles, 374,000 manuscripts, and 189,000 issues of periodicals, including 5,644 Rare and 11,011 Special Collections titles, have met many challenges in its history. Still, the Navy Department Library seeks creative and innovative approaches, utilizing new technology to improve reference services while protecting and preserving the home to the most comprehensive collection of historical literature on the United States Navy for another 225 years.

    Anchored in History - Stories of America's Navy: Ep. 12 - The Boxer Rebellion
    Jan 24 2025
    In the summer of 1900, foreign diplomats living in Beijing's Legation Quarter were besieged by Chinese imperial soldiers and "Boxers," members of a secret society determined to rid China of foreign influence. Defending the Legation Quarter was a small international guard that included 56 American Sailors and Marines. To survive, the Americans communicated with their foreign allies via hand signals, improvised as food supplies and artillery dwindled, and fought fiercely despite nearly impossible odds. But they could not hold out forever. The conflict was the U.S. military's first taste of coalition warfare on a global stage and its first time meeting China on the battlefield. For this episode, we speak with NHHC Writer-Editor Emily Abdow about her work for the NHHC monograph "The Boxer Rebellion: Bluejackets and Marines in China, 1900-1901" and the critical role of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps led in the defense of the Legation Quarter and the campaign that led to its relief.
